Re: Potential Energy stored in a pneumatic ram

you can get a more instant oomph if you lock the piston at 1/3 extension b4 pressurizing and then releasing it. that way the gas can expand faster since it's already in the piston.

Note: this accomplishes the same thing as having a piston extension lock and a tank between the solenoid and piston... just a tad faster.
